MANCHESTER CITY'S Stevan Jovetic claims his side's match against Southampton on Saturday is the most important of 'eight cup finals' until the end of the season.

The Montenegrin took to Twitter on Friday to urge the Citizens to get a result against the Saints but appeared to play down the significance of a potentially title-deciding clash against Liverpool next weekend.

He said: "8 finals by the end of the season...Tomorrow is the first one and most important ! COME ON CITY !!!"

Jovetic has endured a difficult first season at City after making the move from Fiorentina in the summer.

Despite missing a chunk of the season with injury, Jovetic says he says no regrets about moving to Manchester.
